Reusable Custom Meta Boxes Part 4: Using the Data

In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of our custom meta box template tutorial series, we learned how to make a reusable meta box that gets all of the field information from an easy to read, easy to duplicate array. A lot of the data is simple to use by just echoing the meta field in your template or through a function, but some of the fields are more complex and require a bit more finesse to use properly. This tutorial will give you a basic idea of how to use this data and can be expounded on in countless ways.
